PACKAGE FOR INCOSING AND DISPLAYING ARTICLES.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that 1, ADAM JQKORFIST, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of `lillinois, have invented certain new and i useful Improvements in Packages for Inall closing and Displaying Articles, of which ll do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description, reference being'had t0 the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification.

The present invention has .for its object to provide a simple, cheap, compact and e'ective means whereby small articles, such for example as mens garters, may be in closed for s ipment and whereby also the articles may b e attractively displayed for sale. 'Fo this end, theinvention consists in the features of novelty hereinafter de-l scribed, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and particularly pointed out in the claims -at'the end of this specification.

Figure 1 is the plan 'vlew of the sheet of flexible material forming my improved package, a pair of mens garters being shown as secured to one section of the sheet. F ig. 2 is a perspective view showing the package as arranged in position for displaying the garters or like articles for sale, F1 3 1s a perspective view .showing the pac age 1n folded condition for inclosing the garters or like articles for shipment. l Y

My improved package is formed of a sheet lof flexible material, such as thin cardboard,

and in the preferred embodiment of'the invention, the sheet is divided into three main sections A, A" and A2 and two intermediate sections A8N and A4, these several sect1ons being formed by transversely scoring lor creasing the sheet on the lines a, a", a2 and a3. @ne end of the sheet is formed with a tongue a4 and adjacent the opposite end of the sheet is formed a slot a5, through which the tongue at will be passed, as shown in Fig. 2, when the sheet is to be arranged for displaymg the articles for sale. A slot a is formed through the transverse score line a to' re Specification of Letters Patent.

i articles, such for example as garters .B

(shown in' folded condition), are retained upon the sectlon A b means of a strip A5 that 1s formed by slitting the section A along the lines a and al, as clearly shown in Figs.

1 and 2 of the drawing. After the section A has been formed with the slots a Iand a7, the strip A5 will be bent outwardly away from the body portion of the' section A so as to permit the garters B or llike articles to be passed between the strip As and the body of the section A, the resiliency of the material from .whlch the sheet is formed serving to rhold the garters or like articles in position.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that when the garters B or likeV articles i have been placed in position uponthe section A of the sheet, the sheet `may be yfolded as illustrated in Fig'. 3 of the drawin the tongue a4 at the' end of the Sheet ein passed through the slot a at the inneren of the section A, the tonguefa* thus securely the sectlons of the sheet. in folded' conditlon and aording an extremely simplev holding and compact inclosure for the articles contamed =thereln. When the' articlesareto be displayed for sale,1 the tongue a4' :will be e-- slot a. and the sheet All will then be opened out and vreverted in the manner shown in Fig. 2 of the drawin V, the

tongue a* being'passed through the s ot a5 adjacent/the free end of the section A o1 the sheet. The sheet when 'thus folded is given apyramidal shapeand serves'to edectively display the garters or likearticles to the prospective purchaser.

It will be understood that the face o1 the section A2 shown uppermost in Fig. 3 will be y printed with advertising material descrip-y tive ofthe article, and simil-arly, printed matter may appear upon the facesot the sections A'and shown uppermost in Fig. 1 of the drawing, so that when the Package is arranged for dis lay purposes as shown in Fig. 2, the printe matter will beconspicuously shown on the sections A and Ap o1 the package.

My invention aiords an extremely slm le and edective means 1er packaging and isplaying such small artic es as mens garters and also enables such articles to loe compactly arranged for shipment, the package when folded for shipment, as illustrated in` Fig. 3, occupying much less space than the y ordinary boxes in which such articles are commonly shipped.

Having thus described `my invention, what Iolaim as new and desire t0 secure by Letters PatentV isl. A closure of the character described, comprising a sheet of flexible material transversely scored to form three main vsections and two inner intermediate-sections, one of said main sections. being provided with means forv` retaining in place the larticle to be inclosed,v said outer main sections being providedrespectively at their free ends with means whereby' they maybe interlo'eked when the sections are arranged in pyramidal form, the front outer end of one of said main sections having means whereby it will comprising a-sheet of flexible material transversely -scored to form three mainy sections and two narrow intermediate sectlons, one of the outer mam sectlons being provided at Iits end with an .outwardly projecting tongue and the other of the outer main sections being providedadjacent its free end with a slot to receive said tongue whereby the sections may be arranged in pyramidal form, a slot being formed adjacent the inner end of said last mentioned main outer 4section to receive said tongue when the sections are in folded condition.
